Fabulous Finds – grocery bargains for the week of Dec 8

Our local Fred’s Discount Store has Spam for $1.99/can this week. That is a .50 cent savings over regular price. (You could buy 10 cans for $19.90 plus tax – that’s a great way to add to your food storage!)

I’ve also been told that Piggy Wiggly has their store brand of veggies on sale at 3 for $1.00. They also have Van Camps Chili at 10 for $10.00, and corn bread mix at 3 for $1.00.

Our local grocery store carries “Best Choice” store brands, and their veggies are 2/$1.00 this week. Also on sale here:

5# bag Gold Medal flour – $1.48

Grands Biscuits – 10/$10

7oz Flaked Coconut – 10/$10

5# bag red potatoes – $2.48

fresh cabbage – .38 cents/lb

Hunts Spaghetti Sauce – 5/$5

Bryan Vienna Sausages – 4/$2

Best Choice Chicken Broth – 2/$1

Cook’s Full Shank Half Ham $1.08/lb (Butt Portion is $1.38/lb)

Be sure to check out your local grocery store flyer for sales. Local stores offer better value on their sale prices (normally) than Walmart. Not to mention if we don’t patronize our local stores, eventually there will ONLY be Walmart and we will have no choice on what we pay. I love Wally World, don’t get me wrong, but a little healthy competition is good for them. Since our SuperCenter opened, we have lost one grocery store already. I used to shop Walmart exclusively until I learned I could save more money shopping the sales at the other stores. There are some things I still save more on at Walmart, but I try to be more conscientious overall of where our dollars are spent.

Yadda, yadda, yadda…..
